HC Deb 30 July 1930 vol 242 c509W
Mr. BROOKE

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the views upon the necessity for better marketing of agricultural produce recently discussed between the National Farmers' Union of Scotland and the Under-Secretary of State for Scotland, and which embody the policy of the National Labour party on the subject of co-operation in agriculture, are to be given effect to?

Mr. W. ADAMSON

I am aware that at the meeting referred to general agreement was expressed with the proposals for the better marketing of agricultural produce and for the encouragement of co-operation among farmers which as my hon. Friend is doubtless aware formed the subject of recent and unanimous resolutions by the Committee on Agricultural Co-operation presided over by Major Sprot. A Measure to further these objects is being introduced this week.
